"The Hyach shipset is great!! Excellent job!! How long did it take (roughly)?"

Thanks, always good to get an outside opinion.

Looking at the date/time stamps, it took four days. Figure about 20 hours to do the models and another 4 or so to render/assemble all the images in the right sizes and mask test them.

That's the outside estimate, being married with children cuts into any project with all the little distractions. :-) You can easily build a set over the course of a weekend since one model 'evolves' from the next, much faster than building 30 unrelated models.

DoGA CGA is really good for quick modelling and Lesson 3 (L3) in the series is really good with textures and materials. I'm tempted to make a 1024x768 glory shot of the fleet to show off the details that are missing from the portraits and icons.
